The trip to Paris was the longest I had ever taken. When we finally landed a man with a sign was waiting for both me and Peter. I held my breath as the man drove us to the hospital.

"David Shomron." Peter said to the nurse at the front desk.

She gave him the room number and we slowly walked towards his room. I felt tears threaten to stream down my face as I walked in and saw David strapped to a bunch of machines.

"Cassandra." Mom said as she rushed up and hugged me.

I clung to her as I let out a sob. She rubbed my back gently and kissed my forehead as I broke down.

"I have to go to a meeting, but I'll be back." She said after I calmed down.

"I'll be here with her." Peter said as he squeezed my shoulder.

"Thank you." Mom whispered as she stood up and left the room.

I let out a sigh as I gently grabbed David's hand.

"You okay?"

"No..... there is no telling what he saw..... I.... Peter I can't lose my brother." I whispered.

"They think it was a mental issue.... do you think you could...."

"I don't know.... I've never done anything like that."

"I'm sure it will be fine... I'm right here beside you."

"Okay... I'll try." I whispered as I gently put my hand on both side of David's head.

I let out a sigh and closed my eyes as I concentrated on David. When I opened my eyes I was in a house. I walked around and stopped when I saw the four gunmen and their leader. They pulled their guns out and started shooting at Daniel and David.

"No!" I screamed as I saw Daniel cover David's body.

I watched as a blast hit the gunmen and they hit the wall and fell to the ground dead. I quickly ran up to David and saw tears streaming down his face.

"Cas?" He asked in a whisper.

"It's okay... it's okay." I whispered as I hugged him.

He held onto me tightly and I let out a sigh as I gently touched his head and cleared his mind. When I opened my eyes I met David's eyes. I smiled as tears streamed down my face.

"Cas.... where am I?" He asked softly.

"Hospital... there was an accident."

"I don't... why don't I remember it?" He asked through tears.

I gently kissed his head and watched as Peter got a doctor.

"It is probably from the shock. He might never remember it." He said softly.

"Thank you doctor." I said softly.

He nodded his head and left the room.

"I want to go home." David said as I set beside him.

"We will be going home soon... I've already talked to mom and she is on her way." I said softly.

He nodded his head and I let out a sigh as I watched him fall asleep. It wasn't long before it was time to return home and we were on the plane. I watched as David set beside mom while I set beside Peter. I let out a sigh as I laid my head on Peter's shoulder.

"You okay?" He asked softly.

"No... I can't get it out of my head.... I saw... I saw him die." I whispered.
